Penguins in Greenland? I suggest a little more time watching the Animal Planet.

Perhaps they are descendents of Mr. Popper's penguins.

What's wrong with penguins in Greenland? You see them getting along just fine with the, presumably vegetarian, polar bears in Coke commercials all the time. :=)

I have used -13 degrees as the figure for magnetic declination for my location. Since I have a satellite dish in my RV, this information is needed for setting the dish when travelling. I decided to check some more current info about the location of the magnetic North Pole.

Well, it seems the mag north has been busily hustling west over the last few years. Some time back, it was ensconced over NE Canadian Arctic but has recently moved west by about 4 degrees and north by almost a degree.

What does this mean?

Well, the magnetic pole is caused by a mass of magma (molten metal) near the surface of the earth and having a magnetic field.

Since the magma is near the surface, could this molten metal (read: hotter’n hell) also heat the earth in the north lands? I mean, if it is massive enough to alter the magnetic characteristics of the earth, couldn’t it also effect climate?

I just wonder if the algore trolls consider this factor in their analysis.

Just last week they said the ice was melting like crazy from the volcanic magma. The press has the right Greenland?

I didn't even know there WERE Greenlanders

There were eskimo type people there even when the Vikings landed and colonized the southern part of the island. The Norsemen didn't learn much from the natives though, and when the climate went cold again they had to leave in order to survive.

Gonna be interesting to see if the air temperature at Lambeau Field at kickoff will be positive or negative. Either way we will SEE lots of breathing from the players. The coldest ever was supposedly the Ice Bowl which reached a low of -28 air temp, I think. Green Bay could fall down to around -10 to -15 by the end of the game. Looks like the people who named Green Bay were probably the same ones who named Greenland.

Did these rocket scientists ever stop to wonder WHY Greenland is called Greenland?

I’m still thawing out from my commute home. We had what is called a ‘wintry mix’, which is a euphemism for a mixture of every form of frozen or freezing precipitation known to man.

Looks like there are about 56,000 people living in Greenland:

The penguins live in the Antarctic, so they will be fine ...

How would you have liked to be this guy ...

“Telltale signs are everywhere —from the unexpected persistence and thickness of pack ice in the waters around Iceland to the southward migration of a warmth-loving creature like the armadillo from the Midwest. Since the 1940s the mean global temperature has dropped about 2.7° F.” — Climatologist George J. Kukla of Columbia University in Time Magazine’s June 24th, 1975 article “Another Ice Age?”

Might have been just slightly ahead of his time ... :-)

Do you know the REAL reason that no matter how hungry a polar bear is, he will never eat a penguin?
